Another trade whose name has taken on a less than positive meaning is green-wood chair-making - properly called bodging.

I learned something else today... I pointed out to my upholsterer friend that the leather was thicker than I expected, he said that if I had scraped it to make it thinner I would be a sciver. His local shoe making factory had a whole sciving department apparently. I've found my perfect job.

Apparently the people scraping leather sat down to do the job, hence sciving becoming the name for sitting doing nothing.
